THE CW NETWORK SETS 2026 MIDSEASON PREMIERE DATES FOR RETURNING HIT SERIES

Season 3 of the Smash Crime-Solving Procedural "Wild Cards" Premieres on Monday, January 26, 2026

Second Seasons of "Scrabble," with New Host Craig Ferguson, and "Trivial Pursuit," Hosted by LeVar Burton, Return on Thursday, January 22, 2026

Original Episodes of the Gripping "Police 24/7" Debut on a New Night Wednesday, January 21, 2026

BURBANK, CA (November 19, 2025) - The CW Network today announced the midseason premiere dates for the returning hit series WILD CARDS, second seasons of the fan-favorite game shows SCRABBLE and TRIVIAL PURSUIT, and new episodes of the adrenaline-packed POLICE 24/7.

From Blink49 Studios, Front Street Pictures and Piller/Segan, in association with The CW for commissioning broadcaster CBC in Canada, WILD CARDS stars Vanessa Morgan ("Riverdale") and Giacomo Gianniotti ("Grey's Anatomy") and returns for a 10-episode third season on Monday, January 26, 2026 (8:00-9:00pm ET/PT). Season 3 picks up one month after last season's finale, with Max (Morgan) now working as an official police consultant. Her world is immediately upended by two arrivals: First, Ellis (Gianniotti) returns to the force, cleared of all charges and ready to be her partner again. Second, the woman at Max's door is revealed to be her long-lost mother, Vivienne (Tamara Taylor) - who Max believed was dead. Vivienne's shocking return ignites the dangerous, high-stakes events of Season 3 and further upends Max's already complicated relationship with Ellis.

Thursday night is game night on The CW this January with the returns of fan-favorite game shows SCRABBLE on Thursday, January 22, 2026 (8:00-9:00pm ET/PT) and TRIVIAL PURSUIT (9:00-10:00pm ET/PT), based on Hasbro's iconic board games of the same titles. Multiple Grammy-nominated, Peabody, and Emmy(R) Award winning actor, writer, producer, director and comedian Craig Ferguson ("The Late Late Show," "Celebrity Name Game") joins SCRABBLE as the show's new host while Emmy(R) Award-winning actor, director, producer and podcaster LeVar Burton ("Roots," "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "Reading Rainbow") returns as host and executive producer of TRIVIAL PURSUIT.

The pulse-pounding hit unscripted series POLICE 24/7 from acclaimed executive producer SallyAnn Salsano ("Jersey Shore") through her Mullholland Media moves to a new night with original episodes debuting Wednesday, January 21, 2026 (8:00-9:00pm ET/PT).
